§ Mr. MAINWARINGasked the Minister of Labour, whether he will state the number of insured persons, employed and unemployed, separately, that have passed out of insurance upon attaining the age of 65 years, in each of the years 1930 to 1933, inclusive?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI regret that statistics giving the information desired are not available.
§ Mr. WILMOTasked the Minister of Labour, if he is aware that at the Edgware Road employment exchange members of the public remain on the premises for long periods and after they have completed their business, and that the resultant noise and obstruction impairs the efficiency of the office; and whether he will take steps to put an end to this state of affairs or, alternatively, in the event of it being desired to provide 612W shelter and accommodation for long periods for the unemployed registering at this office, if he will arrange for the provision of such accommodation as will not seriously hinder the staff and detract from the efficiency of their work?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI am not aware of any avoidable difficulty at this Exchange, but if the hon. Member will let me have further particulars, I will gladly make further enquiries.
